Superheavy is Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, A.R. Rahman and Damian Marley. The deluxe version of their album features an additional five tracks.

Superheavy features Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger, singer Joss Stone, Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart, Indian composer / musician A.R. Rahman and reggae star Damian Marley. The deluxe version of their album features an additional five tracks.

Recorded in various studios around the world - France, Cyprus, Miami, India - the majority of the tracks on their self-titled debut were laid down over three weeks in Los Angeles earlier in 2011. The quartet wrote 22 songs in their first six days together and the resulting album was co-produced by Jagger and Stewart. The term "SuperHeavy" was inspired by Muhammad Ali.

Jagger and Stewart had worked together on the 2004 soundtrack to the film 'Alfie' and Stewart produced Joss Stone's last album. Both wanted to bring in a Jamaican musician and Damian Marley entered the picture with his rhythm section, bassist and composer Shiah Coore and drummer Courtney Diedrick. They met Rahman while recording in Los Angeles.

SuperHeavy came together after Jagger and Stewart wondered what a band of musicians from different genres would sound like. One of the tracks on the album has Jagger singing in Urdu. He takes lead on Rahman's song "Satyameva Jayate," which translates to "the truth alone triumphs". First single is the reggae-charged good time number, "Miracle Worker".
